Neurogenesis in the adult brain
is challenged by a recent study. The analogy that cells hate
calcium and sodium ions, but love potassium, helps students learn
cell behavior. Your take on teaching A&P is welcome!
Running concept lists to enhance
deep learning by helps students make connections among ideas and
promote development of insights.

(14:24) We all find it difficult to put all the facts and details together in our heads in a way that makes sense—that helps us connect ideas and gain insights. A simple technique of running concepts lists can provide a concrete template for this process. Used over time, running concept lists and also train the brain to make such connections easily.
